New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s exhilarating world of shapeshifters and psychics is “paranormal romance at its best” (Publishers Weekly). Now comes the story of an alpha wolf named Hawke used to getting exactly what he wants--and of the only woman who dares tangle with him.

Since the moment of her defection from the PsyNet and into the SnowDancer wolf pack, Sienna Lauren has had one weakness. Hawke. Alpha and dangerous, he compels her to madness.

Hawke is used to walking alone, having lost the woman who would’ve been his mate long ago. But Sienna fascinates the primal heart of him, even as he tells himself she is far too young to handle the wild fury of the wolf.

Then Sienna changes the rules and suddenly, there is no more distance, only the most intimate of battles between two people who were never meant to meet. Yet as they strip away each other’s secrets in a storm of raw emotion, they must also ready themselves for a far more vicious fight…

A deadly enemy is out to destroy SnowDancer, striking at everything they hold dear, but it is Sienna’s darkest secret that may yet savage the pack that is her home…and the alpha who is its heartbeat…

You are really good at making us wait with more and more impatience! :)I am looking forward to read this book, the snippets in Play of Passion were not enough. (By the way, this book is excellent!!!)I just don't know if I shall pre-order it in England or in Austria. Don't know which Amazon is faster and where I will be when it is published. :(

teriannesis: Yes I know. I find it interesting that so many readers were worried that Sienna wouldn;t be Hawke's mate. I felt that it was pretty much a given from the moment Hawke's inner beast wanted her.

I pretty much knew the possibility for Hawke and Sienna as a pairing was there from the jump.(I told my friend, when I was reading StS at the time, that I could see Hawke and Sienna pairing up in the future)

I'm super excited that all of the build up has led to them actually finally getting there...

Firstly, iagree with every comment BUT the one saying that it shouldn't be Sienna stealing Hawke's heart! What are they chatting about, this match was made in heaven! Thank you Nalini for doing this - as annoyed as I am that I still don't know when the book's to come out in England, that made the wait just that eency weency bit easier!Thank Youuuu! - did i already say that? :D

Glad the pairing is finally confirmed. Could see it coming from the beginning. Hmmm...I wonder how Sienna turns the table? Maybe by trying to get over her "crush." Gah! My imagination will run wild with possible scenarios. Must. Be. Strong! *alternates agony with Snoopy dance* Can you hear the Charlie Brown theme music? I can!

@Pilar...I second that call. The cover shows that it is a moonlit night, which would lead the observer to conclude the wolf is in shadow. ;o)

And yes, right after Kiss of Snow then I am there with both boots planted for Team Kaleb

... still trying to figure out if he is the Ghost and after the hint in PoP with Judd, and the prior hint in BOJ I'm kinda think he must be :D ...

Though who his mate would be I am blanking on ... he has something of hers and she has hidden herself so deep that he can't find her ... makes me think that she is a strongly shielded Psy but too few hints for Kaleb yet ... TEAM KALEB :D

I'M SOOOO EXCITED! Even though it was pretty obvious Hawke & Sienna were going to be paired together after the last few books, I'm LOVING the confirmation! I love them both oh so much! FINALLY!!! :) And that blurb sounds so flippin' awesome too! =) KOS and Archangel's Consort are both at the top of my list for books I'm dying/going mental the most for, btw. I think that says something about your writing Nalini. ;-)

I know almost eveyone is excited about hawk and sienna getting together but I'm not certain about the pairing since he's thirty something and she's only what nineteen, I think she's a little young for him even with what she's been through, but I have faith in Nalini's writing and will wait until I read the book to make up my mind and see what she comes up with.

Thank you Nalini - I just had to torture myself by reading it. I admit fully, I was one against the Sienna/Hawke pairing since she seemed so young and just didn't feel right to me to be deserving of Hawke. After PoP, she has truly come into her own, just from the little snippets in PoP, her time with DarkRiver REALLY helped and now with this blurb, I'm so excited to read this!! I said before that although I *ducks head* doubted the pairing, I had faith in you. I was not wrong, I think they will be a fantastic and wonderful couple and I cannot wait to read it (along with everythign else that will be happening)! Thank you again!

(I apologize for the length, I'm sick and this really brightened my day...)

Thank you! I am so excited about this book and I think it could be the best in the series! Which is saying a lot since this series has had some amazing books. Ignore all the naysayers. If they are going to pass judgment on a book/pairing before it's even been released, then any author is better off without those types of "fans". There are legions of us who trust you and are very much anticipating this book!

So relieved it's finally been confirmed with Sienna & Hawke - there was a time a few books back when I worried it might not happen, especially with her rendez-vous in the woods with Kit, but after PoP I was very hopeful :) I know she's very young, and that gave me a little pause initially, but she's nearly twenty now & a lot more mature, so I reckon it'll be fine. The Kit thing still worries me though - I hope there's not a triangle, and I do like Kit so hopefully he's not too affected.

I think it'll be very similar to the Tamsin-Nate short story; he thinks she's too young, she gets all angry and he has to win her back somehow, etc. Kiss of Snow will either be the best one ever (after all my mental build-up) or a little disappointing for the same reason, but Nalini is awesome so I'm sure it's the former.

PS: Walker & Lara sounds interesting. Also Lissa, Kaleb & Amara - I never even thought of that! Kaleb hinted in one of the books about going to find someone who was 'hiding', & if he is the Ghost (?) he also mentioned maybe wanting to save one person. It's all so awesomely titillating... :L

This is my most fave series in the world! I have been a die hard reader (and Hawke and Sienna fan!) from the very beginning.

I am dying, Nalini. DYING! I can't wait until June. I need to know about Sienna's powers, I need to see Hawke get his comeuppance, and I totally need to see how Nikita, Anthony, SD and DR are going to hold their territory! Gah, this wait is killing me. I'm not going to make it to June!

Thanks for the blurb, now that I've read it I'm ready for the excerpt. When will you post one up? Will it be this year or next closer to release date? Can't wait for Hawke's book he such a tortured soul.

This is going to be one hell of a ride! Thanks for the blurb, Nalini!! Can't wait to learn more about the X-Psy too.

@Farmwifetwo... I see your point and the age thing does bother me aa bit. Yet, in her defense, she *was* a child for many of the early books. She's grown a lot over the last couple - just like most of us, lots of growing up done between 18 and 20.

Re: Kaleb... I didn't think of Amara. I was leaning more toward someone who had been "disappeared" - Faith's cousin Sahara. Though, wouldn't Kaleb know where Amara was since Ming found and retrieved her during Dorian's book? I think he (Kaleb) was still sending out search beacons on the PsyNet at that point, wasn't he?

I know everyone is terribly excited, and I trust Nalini's writing, but I agree with those that say nineteen to thirty-something is just creepy. If that was my daughter I would be concerned. Was hoping for someone else.

I was wondering why a 19/about 35 age paring instead of more of a 25+/35 age pairing. I am sure you will write a great book but why cant Hawke of a more mature women in terms of age even in Sienna is mature in mind.

The age difference is NOT insurmountable!! Remember how Nate was actually HURTING Tammy by trying to delay their mating until he thought she was "old enough?" Sienna's tortuous life experience absolutely qualifies her as an "old soul."
